Thanks for all the info and examples, guys! I can use a lot of this stuff in the future, too.

@Lucid...I understand what you're saying now. That's a good tip. I have the global variable in already, but I tested your example and it works well too. I'm thinking about doing a mini-game where I would use a similar approach. I'm going to hide things under items and have the user find it by destroying the front sprite.
